Dear Kay and family,

There is not much that you can say. Alex is able to see your Facebook pages so she told me the news about Richard. We are devastated.

Every year we talk about going back to New Zealand and keep putting off for one reason or another..with Covid making it impossible now.

We all care about your family very much and I always considered Richard to be a good friend.

I could not reach you via email since we haven't corresponded that way since 2014.

Our very best,

Frank, Gina and Alex Kessler

Kaye - thinking of you and the family at this time. What a man and guide Richard was. He has been such a stalwart and leader amongst the community. I feel privileged to have worked along side Richard and yourself through the National Party.

Dear Kay and family, so sorry to hear that Richard passed away. We have known him as such a wonderful, warm person and helpful neighbour. He will surely be missed. Unfortunately we wont be able to come to the service but our thoughts will be with you and your family, with love at this sad time
